Students listen to Gill's story and determine how many number points she has. They then find the number of points their own name has and get into groups where all the name points are the same.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of relations and interpret graphs and tables. They analyze given data and look for a pattern to determine if the numbers represent a function. Students practice solving scientific word problems that...

Students are shown 4 lollipops and asked to tell you all the ways they could share them between 2 students; understanding the difference between sharing and sharing evenly. They read the math problem and share solutions.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Second graders are introduced to the concepts of greater than and less than. This leads to the use of inequalities. The teacher tells the story about an alligator in order to create a fun environment for practicing the objectives of the...

Second graders use numerical data about Texas to write and solve real-life problems involving addition and subtraction (or multiplication and division). They work in pairs to choose three numerical facts about Texas to use to make up...

Students determine how a counting pattern is created is the story. They estimate how much rice is given to the wise man.

Twelfth graders solve first order differential equations using the separation of variables technique. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders explain the connection between math and engineering. They brainstorm what engineers do in real life.

In this Algebra II activity, 11th graders explore two examples of arguments that can be formalized with mathematical induction.  The one page activity contains two problems with explanation. 

Learners compare different types of numbers. Each student is given a flashcard containing a decimal, percent, fraction or integer. Teams of students compete, in silence, to determine who can line up in numerical order correctly. They...

Sixth graders study addition and subtraction facts. In equal groups, they play a race game to correctly solve addition and subtraction problems. Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher demonstrates how to write word problems and...

Students investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Third graders review and practice strategies for solving division problems. In this division by 3's lesson, 3rd graders play games, use an interactive whiteboard, create flashcards, and solve word problems. 

Young scholars determine the sum of an infinite geometric series.  For this determining the sum of an infinite geometric series lesson, students discuss how the sum of an infinite geometric series is a paradox.  Young scholars...

In this ratw of work and motion activity, students solve 14 word problems. Six of the problems are labeled class work, and 8 are labeled homework. Answers to all problems are included at the bottom of the page.

In this geometry learning exercise, students apply right triangle trigonometry to find missing distances or angles in real life examples involving angles of depression or elevation. The four page learning exercise contains twelve...

Sixth graders solve one unknown number by using hands-on manipulatives after being introduced to the history of abstract mathematics through literature.

Students identify the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

Learners apply the Unit Circle to solve ratios of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students derive the different ratios of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. They find the angles of a unit circle using a right triangle.

Learners examine the mathematical concept of proportions in an attempt to apply them in various types of problems. The real application of proportions is often found in word problems which requires a them to also practice a systematic...

Students describe parts of a fraction and make equivalent fractions. They review parts of a fraction using a pizza, make equivalent fractions, and play the review game Fraction Fairway.

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams instructional activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to...
